Multiple alignment of the repetitive domains of the MAP-1.1 deduced protein sequences from <i>Meloidogyne</i> spp.

<p>Dashes indicate deletions. Yellow boxes indicate mutated positions compared to the MAP-1.1 sequence from <i>M. incognita.</i></p

Hypothetical model for the evolution of <i>map-1</i> genes in root-knot nematodes.

<p>The actual distribution of <i>map-1</i> genes in <i>Meloidogyne</i> species is indicated at the bottom of the figure. Putative individual evolutionary events leading to such a distibution are indicated in circles according to the following code: D, L  =  gene duplication or loss, respectively; d, l, t  =  domain duplication, loss or truncation, respectively. Orange and blue boxes represent the 58-aa and 13-aa domains in MAP-1 encoded proteins, respectively.</p

Distribution of <i>map-1</i> genes in root-knot nematodes.

<p>A neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of the species used in this study was built using SSU rDNA sequences shown in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0038656#pone.0038656.s004" target="_blank">Table S2</a>. Bootstrap support was calculated from 1,000 replicates and values >50% are indicated at the corresponding nodes. The red dot shows the clade clustering species that reproduce by mitotic parthenogenesis, except for <i>M. floridensis.</i> Red and green lines show the species that reproduce by mitotic parthenogenesis or meiotic parthenogenesis/amphimixis, respectively. Orange and blue boxes represent the 58-aa and 13-aa domains in MAP-1 encoded proteins, respectively.</p
